formly about the central rod member which,

i is inclosed within, carries or has formed as part thereof, aheaterelement. Such winding condensation products and have been tubular inshape, such winding devices being provided with tongues or projectionsadapted to direct the displacement or control the position of thestrands of hair as wound upon such central rod member. I

One of the inherent difliculties of the use of such Winding devices, asare at present. known to the art, lies in the fact that they can be onlyoperated for rotation in one direction and hence necessitate and permitonly the winding of the hair in one direction, while at the same timebecause of such construction, are not capable independently ofthemselves to prevent the displacement or movement of the strands ofhair inclosed therein from or in another direction. 7 It is an object ofthis invention then, to

provide for a winding member essentially tubular in shape and formed ofa phenolic condensation product which winding member has a structuralformation with provisions therein for permitting the rotation of thesame in either direction upon the central rod at the same time forpreventing the displacement of the strands of hair in either direction,

Specifically it is an object of this invention to provide for a Winderdevice havingessentially a tubular shape wherein there is provided agroove in which a series ofhair strands are guided for rotation about acentral rod, there being provided a plurality of tongues at oppositesides of the groove and formed integral with the walls defining suchgroove, such tongues being substantially 1n parallelism one withrespectto another, but so formed as to provide'for a limitingor restrainingmechanism, or element, for producing a winding of strands of hair abouta centhe device in operation'for wrapping the M hairjabout the centralrod member, devices have been made of metal or phenolic industry whichhas a head 11 at one end there Ian enlarged receiving portion 15, thesaid guidepo'rtion 14 beingknurled as at 16 and .the're'ceiving portionis knurled as at 17'. 1, c

.tral rod independently of the directional r otation of such winderdevice.

These and other advantages, capabilities and features of the inventionwill appear from thesubjoined detail description of one specificembodiment therefor, illustrated 'in the" accompanying drawing, in which1 Fig. 1 represents a side elevationshowing Referring toreferencecharacters in the ,drawing'numeral 10 represents a centralrodofthe typewell known in the hair waving of and a heat resistingplatemember 12 there adjacent, the head member andthe. platemember-asindicatedin Figures-1' and 2 bothheing formed of a pluralityofsepalrable parts. not shown ordescribed in detail, which may surrounda series .ofhair strands and allow the'same to pass therethrough;Referringv particularly to Figuresj2, 3 and A, the winder device13.comprises of-a molded member formed of a phenolic condensation 1product or other insulating material and has a guide portion 14 of adiameter substantially similar to the outer diameter of the central rod10,'the said guide portion 14, merginginto provide fora substantially Vshape notch 18,

No showing has been made of the heating elements or the method ofinclosing thedevice in heaters for imparting a Wave to the wound hairstrandsbut it is to be understood that this invention relatesspecifically to the winding element per se irrespective of the remainingelements associated therewith in the production of a permanent wave.

It is 'obviousthat various changes and modifications may be made to thedetails of construction without departing from'the general spirit of theinvention as set forth in the appended claims.

I claim: 1. A winder element for hair waving devices, comprising a stem,a hollowed member 10f insulating material, one-portion of which has agreater bore than the second, said portion having the smaller bore beingadapted to slide along said stem, the portion having the larger borebeing adapted to have a groove and a plurality of tonguesdisposedsubstantially in parallelism, but extendingin directions opposite one tothe other, said tongues being respectively adapted to guide hair woundon said stem, as the winder element is V 2. A winder for use in hairwaving devices, comprising a stem, an element formed of 1nsulatingmaterial having a" central bore,

whereby to permit insertion of the same over said stem, a portion ofsaid element having a larger bore than that portion thereof contactingwith the stem, said first-named portion :having a groove formed therein,terminated by a plurality of parallel disposed" and oppositely directedtongues, said tongues being adapted to guide hair being wound on saidstem in either direction. r

3. A winder element'for hair waving deof insulating materialhaving acentral bore,

whereby to permit insertion for reciprocation and rotation of the sameover said stem, said element having a notch formed thereon, theterminals of said notch being defined by a plurality ofsubstantiallyparallel disposed tongues extending oppositely in spacedrelationship one with respect to the other, said
